Technically, it measures sideslip angle, not yaw angle, [2] but this indicates how the aircraft must be yawed to return the sideslip angle to zero. It is typically constructed from a short piece or tuft of yarn placed in the free air stream where it is visible to the pilot. [3] In closed-cockpit aircraft, it is usually taped to the aircraft canopy.
The HP-14 is a Richard Schreder-designed all-metal glider aircraft that was offered as a kit for homebuilding during the 1960s and 1970s. [1] It was originally developed by retrofitting improved wings to the fuselage and tail of the HP-13, and first flew in 1966. [2] Schreder won the 1966 US national soaring championship in the prototype HP-14. [3]

Single-seat high performance fiberglass Glaser-Dirks DG-808 glider Aerobatic glider with tip smoke, pictured on July 2, 2005, in Lappeenranta, Finland. A glider is a fixed-wing aircraft that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its lifting surfaces, and whose free flight does not depend on an engine. [1]
To avoid possible problems the Aviation Bureau, who were sponsoring Hitachi's eight seat civil airliner, asked Fukuda to build a towed, 3/5 scale glider to investigate the design's aerodynamics. The modelling was detailed, including the glazing of the cockpit, the twin inline engine nacelles and the retracted landing gear .
This is a list of gliders/sailplanes of the world, (this reference lists all gliders with references, where available) [1] Note: Any aircraft can glide for a short time, but gliders are designed to glide for longer.
It was wooden framed and mostly covered with plywood, though parts of the wing and all the rear control surfaces were fabric covered. Its one piece high wing was built around a single spar , well set back from the leading edge and with closely spaced (210 mm (8.3 in)) ribs to preserve the laminar flow profile of the ply covered forward part.
The TG-5 was a three-seat training glider of 1942 based upon the O-58 design. This aircraft retained the O-58's rear fuselage, wings, and tail while adding a new front fuselage in place of the engine. In all, Aeronca built 250 TG-5 gliders for the Army. The Navy received three as the LNR-1. [3]
